Göbekli Tepe is an excavation site in the southeast of Turkey near the city of Sanliurfa. It is the oldest known temple of mankind. The T-shaped pillars are 11000 years old, predating Stonehenge by 6000 years.

For me this was one of the most interesting assignments. I was very lucky, that archeologist Klaus Schmidt offered me the opportunity to work during the night hours on the excavation site to illuminate the whole site.With my light technique it was possible to show the carvings on the pillars and the craftsmanship of the stone age people.

The photographs have been published in many publications worldwide like GEO, Smithsonian Magazine, GEO France, Archaeology and on the cover of the book by Klaus Schmidt.
